      breath in -We Didn’t Start the Fire" by Billy Joel rhythm.

      Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipro, Lviv, Zaporizhzhia, and Mariupol, Poltava, Vinnytsia, Sumy, too, Cherkasy, Chernivtsi, view anew.

      Mykolaiv, Lutsk, and Rivne’s charm, Kherson, Kropyvnytskyi, no alarm, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil’s grace, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, a welcoming place.

      (Chorus) Singing for Ukraine, cities shine so bright, From the hills of Uzhhorod to the Black Sea light, We didn’t light the fire, but we carry the flame, In every Ukrainian city, remember the name.

      (Verse 2) Bakhmut, Sloviansk, and Kramatorsk, Sevastopol, Simferopol, history talks, Luhansk, Donetsk, amidst the strife, Khmelnytskyi, Berdiansk, full of life.

      (Chorus) Singing for Ukraine, in unity and might, From the streets of Kamianske to the starry night, We didn’t light the fire, but we’re here to claim, In every Ukrainian city, honor and fame

      Verse 3) Zakarpattia, Lysychansk, in the fray, Horlivka, Pavlohrad, by the bay, Yalta, Yuzhne, Kerch, in the sun, Melitopol, Alchevsk, on the run.

      Nikopol, Bila Tserkva, ancient tales, Brovary, Berdyansk, where the sea prevails, Kremenchuk, Mukachevo, in the hills, Sieverodonetsk, Artemivsk, for the thrills.

      (Chorus) Singing for Ukraine, in the dawn’s new light, From the peace of Drohobych to the heroic fight, We didn’t light the fire, it’s been always burning, In every Ukrainian city, the world keeps turning.
